In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series stands out as one of Europe's most successful franchises, traditionally a PC-specific genre. Now, mobile gamers can delve into the revamped experience with Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
The game is set in Paris and follows the gripping journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The adventure kicks off when George witnesses the bombing of a Parisian café and a mysterious clown fleeing the scene. This event thrusts him into a centuries-old conspiracy, leading him from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
True to its name, Reforged provides a visually remastered experience. The game's already impressive visuals have been enhanced with fully reanimated and repainted graphics, offering a smoother and more engaging visual journey.
Choose wisely - Broken Sword is perfect for those who prefer a more serious narrative over the humor-driven releases common in the point-and-click genre. Instead of rubber chickens, you'll find a globe-trotting plot with a complex narrative. As our own publication noted, Broken Sword 'effortlessly outclasses Dan Brown's similarly themed and tricksy novel,' positioning it as a superior experience to The Da Vinci Code. This bold claim adds a touch of controversy, but it underscores the game's narrative prowess.
